Welcome to a site that that will provide you with unvarnished facts, drug and alcohol facts rooted in research.
Drug and alcohol facts are not as black and white as some would have us believe. It is sadly true that some people's lives can become a misery through addiction. It is also true that addiction does not only affect the addicted person but often affects those close to him or her. I have no intention of denying or minimising the misery and suffering that alcohol and drugs can cause, I have seen it first-hand too many times. Nevertheless there is a considerable amount of misinformation presented as drug and alcohol facts, and this only perpetuates the problems.
"The current environment is so polluted with hysteria that nothing rational can happen to solve the drug problem. Until we're able to get the facts into perspective and debunk the myths, we're just not going to make progress and effectively deal with these issues."
Georgette Bennett Dr. Georgette F. Bennett – President Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, New York
This site will not add to this hysteria and misinformation. Instead it will present you with evidence and you can make up your own mind what to think.

An Interactive Site
These are some of the issues that this site will discuss. However I am aiming to make this site an interactive one, not just a site where you would come to find drug or alcohol facts, but rather a site where you can contribute to the debate. I will start this off by building some general FAQ type pages with drug and alcohol facts in the guise of common questions. If you have any suggestions about what questions should be included please use the form on the contact page to get in touch.
There is a new survey here. We would like your opinion about treatment via the internet and would greatly appreciate if you would take some time to answer it
